Together Again in Seattle
/FTVLive was the FIRST to tell you that WHAS News Director (Louisville) Julie Wolfe was headed to KING-TV in Seattle, and now her GM is following in her footsteps to coffee town.
The WHAS was told yesterday, that General Manager Christy Moreno is also bolting the station and is headed to KING.
Both KING and WHAS are owned by Tegna.
“Christy’s had a noticeable and lasting impact at every stop in her career, and her positive leadership style is infectious,” said Brad Ramsey, SVP, media operations, Tegna. “In addition to her successful track record as a general manager, Christy has led some of the most accomplished newsrooms in the country and has always embraced innovation, giving our audiences and clients what they want and need. She is the perfect person to help the talented KING 5 team build on their storied history.”
WHAS was the first News Director Job for Wolfe and WHAS was also the first GM job for Moreno. Now, the pair are teaming up again at KING.
“Everyone is scratching their heads because they have not done great things with the ratings in Louisville,” said a WHAS insider to FTVLive.
To the pair’s defense, there are not many Tegna stations that are exactly killing it in the ratings.
Just saying….
